Foster, R E

The Fairchild 7A centrifugal compressor used in the X-326 isotopic ''top'' cascade at the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant has been modeled using a proprietary computer code called COMPAL by Concepts E.T.I., Inc. of Norwich, VT. The 7A compressor is described and the results of the modeling calculations are presented. Performance characteristics curves (PR vs. flow) are included for various mixtures of UF/sub 6/ and N/sub 2/ gases.
